Peru halts coca plant eradication program:
Plant used in manufacture of cocaine has practical applications among native peoples
The nation Peru has temporarily suspended the eradication of its coca plants, which is used to produce the narcotic cocaine. The Peruvian government says that it is planning to re-design its anti-drug programs. The news came as a shock to U.S. officials, as Peru has been courted for years to become active in a "war on drugs" in the region.
In addition, coca is considered an effective treatment for altitude sickness and is often used in medicine and in traditional religious ceremonies.
Many still say that the coca crop is cultivated for use in the cocaine industry.
"We are working on how to re-direct efforts," said Oscar Valdes, the Peruvian interior minister. Eradication efforts would resume "very soon," according to Valdes, but added that the government wanted to focus more on catching major traffickers and cutting off access to supplies, such as kerosene used to refine the crop into cocaine.
"The public must understand that the reduction of illicit crops will continue, as the president has said, and there will be a frontal fight against drug trafficking," Valdes added.
Richard Soberon, head of the anti-drugs program for Peruvian President Ollanta Humala's government, said there will be an indefinite "pause" in the eradication program in the Alto Huallaga region northeast of Lima to evaluate the effort.
"In every country, in Afghanistan, in Colombia, in Bolivia, in Mexico, it is normal to have these pauses to do the necessary evaluation of what has happened, to correct mistakes," he said.
Soberon also pointed out that years of eradication efforts had had little impact on the production of coca in Peru.
Rose Likins, the U.S. ambassador to Peru, appeared surprised by the decision. "I still haven't received a complete explanation of what happened," she said. "It would have been better to have received information about this beforehand."
According to a United Nations report, Peru in 2010 became the world's largest coca producer, overtaking Colombia, where production has seen a steady decline.
